DEF

A process of growing one or more layers of material on a carefully selected substrate.

OBS

Usually silicon is grown on a silicon substrate. However, silicon and other semiconductor materials may be grown on a substrate as suitable crystallography, such as sapphire (silicon-on-sapphire). It is a process by which a single crystal of material is deposited and grows upon the surface of a substrate. The material is usually of a different resistivity or conductivity than the substrate.
